INTRODUCTION.  V 

As  we  have  aimed  to  compile  a  volume  which  may  be  fitly 
called  a  *  Sabbath  Hymn  Book,"  we  have  sought  for  the  choicest 
metrical  versions  of  passages  from  the  Bible.  The  inspired  vol- 
ume, containing  the  best  records  of  devotional  experience,  must 
furnish  the  best  materials  for  every  good  book  of  Psalmody.  It 
expresses  the  true  sentiment,  in  its  accurate  proportions,  and  it 
always  suggests  even  more  than  it  expresses.  The  inspired  poems 
are  the  standard  for  all  Christian  hymns.  As  we  depart  from  the 
Biblical  standard,  we  are  in  danger  of  introducing  a  morbid 
pietism  in  the  place  of  a  healthful  piety.  Although  we  have  not 
divided  this  volume  into  a  distinct  Book  of  Psalms,  and  a  distinct 
Book  of  Hymns,  yet  we  have  endeavored  to  insert  every  good 
version  of  the  Biblical  Psalms  which  seemed  important  for  the 
Biblical  associations  and  influence  of  the  volume,  and  we  have 
introduced  some  paraphrases  of  other  portions  of  the  inspired 
'text,  which  have  not  been  ordinarily  found  in  American  Hymn 
Books.  Examples  of  these  are  found  in  Hymns  1,  95,  245, 
313,  321,  339,  641,  689,  779,  867,  868,  881,  918,  958,  1273,  1275. 

We  have  not  arranged  the  versions  of  the  inspired  Psalms  in  a 
separate  book,  because,  first,  many  of  these  versions  are  too  gen- 
eral and  free  to  be  called  Psalms,  in  distinction  from  Hymns ; 
secondly,  some  of  the  inspired  Psalms  have  never  been  translated 
into  metrical  versions  worthy  of  the  name,  and  at  the  same  time 
adapted  to  the  worship  of  a  promiscuous  Christian  assembly  ; 
and  therefore  a  book  of  English  paraphrases  of  Psalms  for  the 
service  of  song  must  be,  at  present,  incomplete ;  and,  thirdly,  the 
separate  arrangement  of  the  Psalms  and  Hymns  interferes  with 
the  logical  and  rhetorical  unity  of  the  Hymn  Book,  and  this  unity 
is  important  for  its  practical  usefulness  ;  and,  fourthly,  the  Bibli- 
cal Index  will  supply,  in  part,  the  advantage  of  preserving  a  dis- 
tinct classification  of  the  Psalms,  and  will  show  that  many 
passages  in  the  Prophecies,  Gospels,  and  Epistles,  are  in  fact 
Psalms  of  devotion,  and,  on  the  ground  of  intrinsic  lyrical  and 
spiritual  merit,  are  worthy  of  being  distinguished  by  being  col- 
lected into  appropriate  books.  Indeed,  the  Editors  were,  at  one 
time,  somewhat  inclined  to  arrange  the  hymns  of  this  volume 
according  to  the  Biblical  sources  whence  they  were  derived. 

As  the  devotional  influences  of  a  Hymn  Book  are  increased  by 
its  being  associated  with  the  phrases  and  the  authority  of  inspired

dear  to  the  Church  of  the  present  and  the  future.  I  hut

u  Jesus,  thou  Joy  of  loving  hearts," 
and  the  sacramental  hymn  of  Aquinas  (Hymn  1051), —

and  it  stirs  the  heart  to  know  that  Hymn  S00  — 

"  Fear  not,  ()  little  flock,  the  lb

that  he  fought  for  the  Protestant  Reformation.     What  more  afl

which  is  the  root  of  the  old  "Dies  Irae,"  in  all  its  versions,  and 
which  has  proved  its  wortJi  by  a  life  ol'  a  tli 


INTRODUCTION.  VII* 

arc  many  such  hymns,  we  think,  which  the  Church  "will  not 
willingly  let  die." 

It  may  be  thought  that  some  of  the  old  English  hymns  in  this 
volume  are  too  quaint  for  modern  Psalmody.  But  these  were 
among  the  chosen  hymns  of  our  own  ancestors.  They  have  been 
sung,  with  tears  of  penitence  or  of  joy,  by  men  and  women  whom 
we  love  to  venerate.     One  of  these  (Hymn  31), 

"  All  people  that  on  earth  do  dwell," 

was  the  old  favorite  version  of  the  one  hundredth  Psalm  ;  and  was 
the  first  English  hymn  to  which  the  tune  of  the  Old  Hundredth  was 
applied  by  our  English  forefathers.  It  has,  therefore,  great  histor- 
ical value,  and  a  special  adaptedness  to  One  of  the  noblest  tunes  in 
the  "  service  of  song."  It  is  beautifully  fitted  for  certain  celebra- 
tions of  events  that  occurred  in  the  remote  past,  and  for  some  of 
our  anniversary  Jubilees. 

In  preparing  a  Hymn  Book  for  the  best  religious  influence  in 
the  Sanctuary,  the  Editors  have  aimed  to  introduce  the  ripest  fruits 
of  modern  Hymnology.  As  we  have  sought  to  compile  a  Book 
of  Poetry,  in  distinction  from  prose  ;  and  of  poetry  for  worship,  in 
distinction  from  songs  of  general  application,  so  we  have  aimed 
to  furnish  a  book  of  real  life,  in  distinction  from  mere  imaginative 
poetry  ;  a  book  of  various  Christian  experience,  and  containing  the 
most  valuable  records  of  what  religious  men  have  actually  felt, 
and  have  expressed  in  lyrical  form.  But  the  various  experience 
of  the  Church  cannot  be  exhibited  without  the  aid  of  her  modern, 
poets.  The  experience  of  the  present  age  has  a  new  individuality. 
Hymnology  is  receiving  constant  accessions  from  men  now  living. 
Some  of  its  choice  treasures  are  recent.  This  is  especially  true  of 
Hymns  upon  the  Person  and  Work  of  Christ.  Certain  produc- 
tions of  living  hymnologists  have  already  taken  a  strong  hold  of 
the  affections  of  the  Church,  as  expressive  of  an  existing  Christian 
life.  They  will  be  precious  to  the  hearts  of  Christians  in  a  coming 
age,  and  will  be  permanent  contributions  to  our  Christian  literature. 
We  have  introduced  into  this  volume  many  hymns  which  have 
never  been  used  in  American  churches,  and  some  of  which  have 
never  been  previously  published.  The  "  Sabbath  Hymn  Book"  has 
been  enriched  by  several  contributions  prepared  expressly  for  it,  by

Among    the   hymns   which   we   have   not   seen   in   any    .\ 
Manual  for  worship,  may  Ihj   named   the  following  selection.  . 
Hymns   175,  233.  237,  239,  2G0,  2G4,  304,  31  ,  396,  343, 

367,  372,  373,  415,  418,421,441.440.400,  623,  653,  710, 

753,  761,  771,  792,  868,  899,  902,  936,  977,  980,  987,  1019, 
1032,  1169,  1174,  1177,  1182,  1203,  1204,  1228,  1230,  1244,  1262, 
1269,  1270,  1271,  1273,  1281,  1289,  1290. 

The  Editors  of  this  Manual  have  spent  no  small  amount  of 
labor  upon  the  relative  proportion  of  its  Hymns.     Where  other 
aims  have  not  conflicted  with  this,  we  have  designed  t 
best  place  to  the  best  themes  ;  and  among  the  different  hym: 
the  same  topic,  to  give  the  first  place  to  the  hymns  which,  all 
things  considered,  are  most  congruous  with  the  spirit  of  worship. 
Thus,  under  the  title  of  *  Worship,"  we  have  given  the  first  place 
to  hymns  of   direct  address   to  the   Godhead  ;    arranging  subse- 
quently to  these,   M  Meditations  upon   Worship,"  and 
Worship."     Under  the  title  of  the  "  Atonement,"  we  have  th<  • 
it  obvious  that,  after  the  historic  hymns  on  Gethsemane  and  the 
Cross,  the  superior  position  should  be  assigned  to  such  as  Hymn 
•299,— 

u  Not  all  the  blood  of  beasts,"  — 

and  such  as  Hymn  300,  — 

M  There  is  a  Fountain  filled  with  blood," 

rather  than  to  hymns  descriptive  of  the  influence  of  the  Atone- 
ment.     Under  the  title  of  "The  Holy  Spirit,"  we  a-^iirn  t' 
place   to    a  didactic  and   descriptive   hymn   on  the   coming 
office  of  the  Holy  Spirit,   and  the  first  place  to  a  strictly  d 
tional  invocation  of  the  presence  of  the  Holy  Spirit  in  the  B 

tuary.      Under  the   title   of  "  Faith   in 
reserved  for  the  last  position,  the  definitive 


INTRODUCTION.  IX 

of  faith ;  and  under  the  title  of  "  Prayer,"  we  have  assigned  the 
beautiful  poem  of  Montgomery,  on  the  nature  of  prayer,  to  the 
least  prominent  position.  Other  instances  also  occur,  in  which  we 
have  made  the  logical  order  subordinate  to  the  chief  aim  of  the 
volume,  as  a  book  of  worship,  in  distinction  from  a  book  of 
religious  meditation. 

We  have  striven  also  to  preserve  the  "  Sabbath  Hymn  Book  " 
from  unseemly  excrescences,  and  to  give  an  especial  fullness  on 
those  topics  to  which  a  healthy  Christian  mind  turns  most  fre- 
quently, and  with  the  most  earnest  affection.  Hence,  those  parts 
of  the  book  which  are  devoted  to  the  Person  and  Work  of  the 
liedeemer,  have  assumed  a  prominence  above  the  other  parts. 
Here  are  the  richest  fruits  of  poetry,  as  here  is  the  most  fertile 
root.  Many  of  the  hymns  on  the  Life,  Sufferings,  and  Example 
of  Christ,  are  the  most  appropriate  hymns  which  can  be  selected 
or  written  for  the  administration  of  the  Lord's  Supper,  and  for  the 
occasional  Charities  of  the  day.  Hymns  upon  an  occasion,  are  not 
necessarily  the  hymns  best  adapted  to  a  devotional  commemora- 
tion of  that  occasion.  Very  many  of  the  hymns  on  the  great 
doctrines  of  the  Gospel  are  better  fitted  for  such  a  purpose,  than 
are  a  majority  of  the  hymns  written  expressly  for  it.  Special 
hymns  for  special  occasions  are  apt  to  be  artificial,  meager,  cold. 
They  are  often  utilitarian  hymns,  calculated  for  a  precise  end.  But 
the  songs  inspired,  in  actual  Christian  experience,  by  the  Being  and 
Perfections  of  God,  and  by  the  vast  truths  revolving  around  his 
redemptive  work,  are  the  true  outflo wings  of  sacred  poetry.  They 
come  because  they  must  come,  and  men  sing  them  because  they 
must  sing,  and  the  soul  is  borne  upward  by  them,  without  any 
calculation,  into  a  height  of  Christian  life,  which  animates  and 
emboldens  it  for  any  and  every  special  form  or  incident  of  duty. 

While  the  predominant  aim  of  this  Manual  is  to  be  a  Sabbath 
Hymn  Book,  "  for  the  service  of  Song  in  the  House  of  the  Lord," 
it  is  also  designed,  subordinately  and  incidentally,  to  aid  in  the 
more  private  social  devotions,  in  the  conference  room,  the  family, 
and  the  closet.  Hymns  are  inserted  which  are  less  appropriate 
for  the  Congregation  in  the  temple,  than  for  the  more  familiar  and 
domestic  worship.  Such  a  hymn  as  No.  1199,  of  this  Collection, 
may  move  too  slowly  for  the  happiest  influence  on  a  large  assem-

ings  or  relations  of  the  worshiper  towards  his  Maker,  Ruler,  Re- 
deemer, and  Judge,  are  brought  forward  into  a  more  prominent 
position  than  is  the  character  of  the  Godhead.  Still,  in  the  Sec- 
ond Division  are  many  hymns  which,  apart  from  their  history  and 
associations,  might  perhaps  be  more  properly  classified  among  the 
hymns  pertaining  to  God,  than  among  the  hymns  pertaining  to 
man.  In  the  general,  however,  the  hymns  having  direct  reference 
to  the  Most  High  will  be  found  in  the  First  Division,  and  the 
hymns  having  immediate  reference  to  human  duty  and  destiny 
will  be  found  in  the  Second  Division. 

It  is  of  essential  importance  to  note  the  fact,  that,  while  the 
hymns  are  classified  according  to  the  doctrine  or  the  duty  to  which 
they  have  explicit  regard,  still  it  is  very  often  true  that  other  hymns 
than  those  distinctively  appropriated  to  that  doctrine  or  duty,  may 
be  more  fitly  sung  during  the  services  in  which  that  doctrine  or 
duty  is  the  theme  of  discourse.  For  example  :  several  of  the 
hymns  on  "  Worship,"  or  on  the  "  Attributes  of  God,"  are  better 
suited  to  prepare  the  mind  for  a  sermon  on  the  "  Sovereign  Decrees 
of  God,"  than  are  the  Hymns  233 — 242.  And  two  or  three  of  the 
hymns  on  the  "  Sovereign  Decrees  of  God  "  are  more  beautifully 
adapted  to  introduce  a  sermon  on  "Affliction,"  than  are  the  majority 
of  Hymns  926 — 956.  There  are  very  few  hymns  on  the  "  Death 
of  an  Infant,"  which  are  not  either  offensive  to  many  devout  men, 
on  account  of  some  doctrinal  error,  or  repugnant  to  a  sensitive 
taste,  on  account  of  vague,  or  vapid,  or  prosaic  statements ;  and 
yet  there  are  some  such  hymns  as  Nos.  933,  120-4,  1276,  of  this 
Collection,  which  are  delicately  appropriate  to  such  an  event, 
without  any  express  allusion  to  it. 

It  has  been  in  a  constant  view  of  this  feature  of  the  arrange- 
ment, that  the  "  Alphabetical  Index  of  Subjects,"  pages  825 — 867, 
has  been  prepared.  That  Index  notes  the  spirit  and  the  general 
impression  of  the  hymns,  as  well  as  their  more  precise  reference, 
which  is  exclusively  noted  in  the  "  Classification  of  Hymns,"

gives  rise,  often,  to  two  classes  of  references  to  hymns  ;  the  one 
embracing  hymns  more  specific  and  direct  in  their  bearings  upon 
the  theme  than  the  other.  The  more  specific  are  placed  first  in

INTRODUCTION.  XIII 

Original  readings.  In  general,  the  Author's  words  should  be  pre- 
ferred to  others.  This  is  especially  the  fact  in  those  hymns  which 
have  been  consecrated  by  long  and  reverential  usage.  It  is  im- 
possible, however,  always  to  retain  the  original  forms  and  phrases 
of  hymns.  There  is  no  modern  Hymn  Book  which  has  altogether 
retained  them.  Some  alterations  are  indispensable.  Without 
them,  many  valuable  hymns  would  fall  into  disuse.  It  is  not  gener- 
ally known  how  numerous  are  the  deviations  from  the  originals,  in 
hymns  which  now  profess  to  be  standard.  Besides,  an  omission 
of  a  stanza  is  often  the  most  serious  alteration  of  a  hymn.  It 
affects  often  the  whole  shading  and  coloring  of  the  original.  But 
from  many  of  the  best  hymns,  there  must  be  omissions,  or  the 
hymns  could  not  be  used  at  all.  The  Editors  Of  this  Hymn  Book 
have  admitted  no  changes  for  slight  reasons,  and  few  without 
obvious  necessity.  The  majority  of  the  alterations,  which  they 
have  adopted,  have  already  displaced  the  originals  in  the  usage  of 
English  and  American  Churches.  To  abandon  them  now,  would 
be  an  unwise  innovation.  In  many  instances,  an  alteration  of  a 
hymn  has  been  a  nearer  approach  to  the  original  than  that  hymn 
itself  had  made.     Thus,  a  popular  lyric, — 

"Jerusalem,  my  happy  home,"  — 

has,  in  its  second  stanza,  — 

"  Where  congregations  ne'er  break  up, 
And  Sabbaths  have  no  end." 

This  prosaic  couplet,  which  has  no  authority  in  the  original,  is 
changed  in  the  Sabbath  Hymn  Book  (Hymn  1231),  to 

"  "Where  evermore  the  angels  sing, 
Where  Sabbaths  have  no  end." 

This  couplet  is  an  approach  to  the  original  well  known  antique, 
which  lias,  for  one  of  its  stanzas, 

"There  trees  for  evermore  bear  fruit, 
And  evermore  do  spring; 
There  evermore  the  angels  sit, 
And  evermore  do  si7ig." 

Sometimes  a  dull,  uncouth  line  in  a  Biblical  hymn  is  exchanged

The  titlrs  of  the  hymns,  in  this  collection,  have  bo 
with  reference  simply  to  naturalness  and  sugg 
has  led  to  a  diversity  of  kind  in  the  tir'  nunon  with

the  moat  suggestive  of  the  sentiment  of  the  hymn,  and  i 
with  the  spirit  of  worship.     But  often  a  hymn  has 
itself,   in  the    usage  of  the  Church,  by  its  fint   line.       In   other  in- 
stances, some  Striking  clause  in  the  hymn  has  seemed   to  he  more 
expressive  of  its  character  than  any  equally  brief  passage  from  the 
Bible:   and  by  adopting  such  a  clau-e  as  a   title,  we  havt 
avoid   the   danger  of  forced   applications   of  Scriptural  langu 
In  some  cases,  also,  a  plain  definitive  title  has  appeared  • 

natural  than  any  other.     We   have   chosen  to  sacrifice  any 
supposed   advantage,  arising  from  absolute    uniformity,   to 
superior  excellence  of  ease  and  diversity.     In  the  □  tural 

titles,  we    havt'    been   sensible  of  the    peril  of  confounding,   in    the 

nailer's    mind,    hymm    written    Bpo*   certain    passage*    from    the 

.  and  those  merely  congruous  with  such  passages  and 

them;  and  this  evil  we  have  endeavored  to 

oining  to  the  title  of  ■  hymn  a  reference   to  the  chapter,  or  the 


INTRODUCTION.  XV 

chapter  and  verse,  in  cases  in  which  the  Author  has  professed  to 
found  the  hymn  upon  a  Scriptural  passage,  and  in  no  others. 

It  is  a  minute  matter,  and  vet  one  which  is  perhaps  worthy  of  a 
word,  that  our  use  of  capital  letters,  in  the  titles,  has  varied  accord- 
ing to  the  diverse  usage  respecting  original  and  quoted  language. 

Few  of  the  incidents  to  the  compilation  of  a  Book  of  Psalmody 
occasion  greater  difficulty  than  the  decision  of  questions  of  author- 
ship. In  reference  to  many  hymns,  no  uniformity  exists,  in  this 
respect,  among  our  standard  Hymn  Books.  In  some  cases,  hymns 
are  credited  to  Authors  to  whom  they  certainly  do  not  belong ;  in 
others,  they  are  ascribed  to  Authors  on  very  doubtful  authority- ;  in 
others  still,  as  in  the  case  of  many  hymns  attributed  to  the 
\Tesleys,  the  authorship  is  only  that  of  translation  ;  and  yet  again, 
some  hymns  have  come  down  from  a  remote  period,  so  changed 
that  they  cannot,  with  fairness,  be  accredited  to  the  Authors  of  the 
originals.  AVe  have  seldom  ventured  upon  conjectural  decisions  of 
authorship,  but  have  chosen  to  leave  without  a  name,  those  hymns, 
the  authorship  of  which  seemed  to  us  to  be  doubtful,  or  unknown  ; 
and  where  hymns  have  been  very  materially  changed,  we  have 
distinguished  them  by  appending  the  sign  t  to  the  Author's  name. 
The  names  cf  Authors  we  have  preferred  to  insert  in  the  Index  of 
the  First  Lines  of  Hymns,  rather  than  to  append  them  to  the 
hymns  themselves,  the  latter  method  seeming  to  us  to  be  scarcely 
conducive  to  the  spirit  of  worship  in  the  service  of  Song. 

The  Editors  have  aimed,  in  the  construction  of  the  Indexes  of 
this  volume,  to  render  them  a  practical  help  to  worshipers,  and 
especially  to  those  on  whom  it  may  devolve  to  conduct  the  services 
of  the  Sanctuary.  We  have  therefore  made  these  Indexes  as 
copious  as  our  limits  have  allowed.  The  Biblical  Index  contains 
references  to  the  hymns  already  noticed,  as  being  founded  by  their 
Authors  upon  certain  passages  of  the  Bible  ;  and  a  larger  number 
of  references  to  hymns  which  are  suggestive  of  Scriptural  passages, 
but  not  constructed  upon  them.  The  first  of  these  classes  of  hymns 
are  distinguished  in  the  Biblical  Index  by  an  asterisk  prefixed. 

In  the  typography  of  this  volume,  the  Editors  have  desired  to 
facilitate   the   cultivation  of    Congregational   Singing,  and  have

To  spend  one  day  with  thee  on  earth, 
Exceeds  a  thousand  days  of  mirth.

Not  tents  of  ease,  nor  thrones  of  power 
Should  tempt  my  feet  to  leave  thy  door.

God  is  our  shield  —  he  guards  our  way 
From  all  th'  assaults  of  hell  and  sin, 
From  foes  without  and  foes  within. 

4  All  needful  grace  will  God  bestow, 
And  crown  that  grace  with  glory  too ; 
He  gives  us  all  things,  and  withholds 
No  real  good  from  upright  souls.

With  humble  gratitude  I  raise : 
Oh,  let  thy  mercy  tune  my  tongue, 
And  fill  my  heart  with  lively  praise. 

2  My  days,  unclouded  as  they  pass, 

And  every  gently  rolling  hour, 
Are  monuments  of  wondrous  grace, 
And  witness  to  thy  love  and  power. 

3  And  yet  this  thoughtless,  wretched  heart, 

Too  oft  regardless  of  thy  love, 
Ungrateful,  can  from  thee  depart, 
And,  fond  of  trifles,  vainly  rove. 

4  Seal  my  forgiveness  in  the  blood 

Of  Jesus;  his  dear  name  alone 
I  plead  for  pardon,  gracious  God ! 
And  kind  acceptance  at  thy  throne. 

5  Let  this  blest  hope  mine  eyelids  close; 

With  sleep  refresh  my  feeble  frame ; 
Safe  in  thy  care  may  I  repose, 

And  wake  with  praises  to  thy  name  !

And  unexampled  acts  of  grace ; 
His  wakened  wrath  doth  slowly  move, 
His  willing  mercy  flies  apace. 

3  As  high  as  heaven  its  arch  extends 

Above  this  little  spot  of  clay, 
So  much  his  boundless  grace  transcends 
The  best  obedience  we  can  pay.

So  far  has  he  our  sins  removed, 
Who,  with  a  father's  tender  breast, 
Has  such  as  fear  him  always  loved.

Psalm  46. 

1  God  is  the  refuge  of  his  saints, 

When  storms  of  sharp  distress  invade ; 
Ere  we  can  offer  our  complaints, 
Behold  him  present  with  his  aid. 

2  Let  mountains  from  their  seats  be  hurled 

Down  to  the  deep,  and  buried  there, 
Convulsions  shake  the  solid  world; 
Our  faith  shall  never  yield  to  fear. 

3  Loud  may  the  troubled  ocean  roar  ; 

In  sacred  peace  our  souls  abide; 
While  every  nation,  every  shore, 

Trembles  and  dreads  the  swelling  tide. 

4  There  is  a  stream,  whose  gentle  flow 

Supplies  the  city  of  our  God, 
Life,  love,  and  joy,  still  gliding  through, 
And  watering  our  divine  abode. 

5  That  sacred  stream,  thine  holy  word, 

Our  grief  allays,  our  fear  controls; 
Sweet  peace  thy  promises  afford, 

And  give  new  strength  to  fainting  souls. 

6  Zion  enjoys  her  Monarch's  love, 

Secure  against  a  threatening  hour ; 
Nor  can  her  firm  foundations  move,

Or  where 's  a  refuge  like  our  God  ?

Gives  me  his  holy  sword  to  wield ; 
And  while  with  sin  and  hell  I  fight, 
Spreads  his  salvation  for  my  shield.

His  morning  smiles  bless  all  the  day : 
lie  spreads  the  evening  vail,  and  keeps 
The  silent  hours,  while  Israel  sleeps. 

4  Israel,  a  name  divinely  blest, 
May  rise  secure,  securely  rest ; 
Thy  holy  Guardian's  wakeful  eyes 
Admit  no  slumber,  nor  surprise. 

5  No  sun  shall  smite  thy  head  by  day ; 
Nor  the  pale  moon  with  sickly  ray 
Shall  blast  thy  couch ;  no  baleful  star 
Dart  his  malignant  fire  so  far. 

6  Should  earth  and  hell  with  malice  burn, 
Still  thou  shalt  go,  and  still  return, 
Safe  in  the  Lord ;  his  heavenly  care 
Defends  thy  life  from  every  snare. 

7  On  thee  foul  spirits  have  no  power ; 
And,  in  thy  last  departing  hour, 
Angels,  that  trace  the  airy  road, 
Shall  bear  thee  homeward  to  thy  God.

Looks  down  upon  the  spheres ; 
And  in  his  providence  and  grace 
To  every  eye  appears. 

2  He  bows  the  heavens ;  the  mountains  stand 

A  highway  for  our  God : 
He  walks  amid  the  desert  land ; 
'T  is  Eden  where  he  trod. 

3  The  forests  in  his  strength  rejoice  ; 

Hark  !  on  the  evening  breeze, 
As  once  of  old,  the  'Lord  God's  voice' 
Is  heard  among  the  trees.

4  He  breaks  the  power  of  reigning  sin, 

He  sets  the  prisoner  free  ; 
His  blood  can  make  the  foulest  clean  : 
His  blood  availed  for  me. 

5  He  speaks,  and,  listening  to  his  voice, 

New  life  the  dead  receive ; 
The  mourning,  broken  hearts  rejoice, 
The  humble  poor  believe. 

6  Hear  him,  ye  deaf!  his  praise,  ye  dumb, 

Your  loosen' d  tongues  employ  ! 
Ye  blind,  behold  your  Saviour  come, 
And  leap,  ye  lame,  for  joy !

1  Bright  King  of  glory !  dreadful  God ! 

Our  spirits  bow  before  thy  seat ; 

To  thee  we  lift  an  humble  thought, 

And  worship  at  thine  awful  feet ! 

2  A  thousand  seraphs,  strong  and  bright, 

Stand  round  the  glorious  Deity ; 

But  who,  among  the  sons  of  light, 

Pretends  comparison  with  thee  ? 

3  Yet  there  is  one,  of  human  frame, 

Jesus,  arrayed  in  flesh  and  blood, 
Thinks  it  no  robbery  to  claim 
A  full  equality  with  God. 

4  Then,  let  the  name  of  Christ,  our  King, 

With  equal  honors  be  adored : 
His  praise  let  every  angel  sing, 
And  all  the  nations  own  him  Lord.

With  God  he  was;  the  Word  was  God,

By  him  supported,  all  things  stands

And  angels  fly  at  his  command, 

3  But,  lo!  he  leaves  those  heavenly  forms: 

The  Word  descends  and  dwells  in  clay, 
That  he  may  hold  converse  with  worms, 
Dressed  in  such  feeble  flesh  as  they.

To  clear  the  mental  ray, 
And  on  the  eyes  long  closed  in  night 
To  pour  celestial  day.

And,  with  the  treasures  of  his  grace, 
Enrich  the  humble  poor.

No  weapons  in  his  hands  are  seen, 
No  flaming  sword,  nor  thunder  there. 

2  Such  was  the  pity  of  our  God, 

He  loved  the  race  of  man  so  well, 
He  sent  his  Son  to  bear  our  load 

Of  sins,  and  save  our  souls  from  hell. 

3  Sinners,  believe  the  Saviour's  word ; 

Trust  in  his  mighty  name,  and  live  : 
A  thousand  joys  his  lips  afford, 

His  hands  a  thousand  blessings  give.

To  give  the  mourner  joy, 
To  preach  glad  tidings  to  the  poor, 
Was  his  divine  employ.

Patient  and  meek  he  stood  : 
His  foes,  ungrateful,  sought  his  life ; 
He  labored  for  their  good. 

4  In  the  last  hour  of  deep  distress, 

Before  his  Father's  throne, 
With  soul  resigned,  he  bowed,  and  said, 
"  Thy  will,  not  mine,  be  done  ! "

ATONEMENT   OF   CHRIST.  291. 

<— *J-L  Luke  22  :  3<>-44. 

1  Many  woes  had  Christ  endured, 

Many  sore  temptations  met, 
Patient  and  to  pains  inured; 

But  the  sorest  trial  yet 
Was  to  be  sustained  in  thee, 
Gloomy,  sad  Gethsemane ! 

2  Came  at  length  the  dreadful  night ; 

Vengeance,  with  its  iron  rod, 
Stood,  and  with  collected  might, 

Bruised  the  harmless  Lamb  of  God : 
See,  my  soul,  thy  Saviour  see 
Prostrate  in  Gethsemane ! 

3  There  my  God  bore  all  my  guilt : 

This,  through  grace,  can  be  believed ; 
But  the  horrors  which  he  felt 

Are  too  vast  *o  be  conceived  : 
None  can  penetrate  through  thee, 
Doleful,  dark  Gethsemane  ! 

4  Sins  against  a  holy  God, 

Sins  against  his  righteous  laws, 
Sins  against  his  love,  his  blood, 

Sins  against  his  name  and  cause  — 
Sins  immense  as  is  the  sea ! 
Hide  me,  O  Gethsemane! 

5  Here's  my  claim,  and  here  alone: 

None  a  Saviour  more  can  need ; 
Deeds  of  righteousness  I  've  none  ; 

No :  not  one  good  work  to  plead :

I  looked  to  Jesus,  and  in  him  I  saw 

That  law  fulfilled,  its  curse  endured  for  me. 

3  I  thought  I  saw  an  angry,  frowning  God, 

Sitting  as  Judge  upon  the  great  white  throne: 
My  soul  was  overwhelmed ;  then  Jesus  showed 
His  gracious  face,  and  all  my  dread  was  gone. 

4  I  saw  my  sad  estate,  —  condemned  to  die  : 

Then  terror  seized  my  heart,  and  dark  despair; 
But  when  to  Calvary  I  turned  my  eye, 

I  saw  the  cross,  and  read  forgiveness  there. 

5  I  saw  that  I  was  lost,  far  gone  astray ; 

No  hope  of  safe  return  there  seemed  to  be ; 
But  then  I  heard  that  Jesus  was  the  way, 
A  new  and  living  way  prepared  for  me. 

6  Then,  in  that  way,  so  free,  so  safe,  so  sure, 

All  sprinkled  o'er  with  reconciling  blood, 
"Will  I  abide,  and  never  wander  more, 
But  walk  secure,  in  fellowship  with  God.

1  O  Christ  !  our  King,  Creator,  Lord! 
Saviour  of  all  who  trust  thy  word ! 
To  them  who  seek  thee  ever  near, 
Now  to  our  praises  bend  thine  ear. 

2  In  thy  dear  cross  a  grace  is  found  — 

It  flows  from  every  streaming  wound  — 
Whose  power  our  inbred  sin  controls, 
Breaks  the  firm  bond,  and  frees  our  souls ! 

3  Thou  didst  create  the  stars  of  night ; 
Yet  thou  hast  vailed  in  flesh  thy  light  — 
Hast  deigned  a  mortal  form  to  wear, 

A  mortal's  painful  lot  to  bear. 

4  When  thou  didst  hang  upon  the  tree, 
The  quaking  earth  acknowledged  thee ; 
When  thou  didst  there  yield  up  thy  breath, 
The  world  grew  dark  as  shades  of  death. 

5  Xow  in  the  Father's  glory  high, 
Great  Conqu'ror,  never  more  to  die, 
Us  by  thy  mighty  power  defend, 
And  rei^n  through  ages  without  end !

1  Behold  the  glories  of  the  Lamb, 

Amid  his  Father's  throne  ; 
Prepare  new  honors  for  his  name, 
And  songs  before  unknown. 

2  Let  elders  worship  at  his  feet, 

The  church  adore  around, 
With  vials  full  of  odors  sweet, 
And  harps  of  sweeter  sound. 

3  Those  are  the  prayers  of  all  the  saints, 

And  these  the  hymns  they  raise  : 
Jesus  is  kind  to  our  complaints ; 
He  loves  to  hear  our  praise.

Yet  we  believe  the  deed  was  done, 
Which  shook  the  earth  and  vailed  the  sun.

Where,  Lord,  thy  sacred  body  lay, 
Xor  sat  within  thai  upper  room, 

Xor  met  thee  in  the  open  way : 
But  we  believe  that  angels  said, 
"  Why  seek  the  living  with  the  dead  ? ' 

3  We  did  not  mark  the  chosen  few, 

When  thou  didst  through  the  clouds  ascend. 
First  lift  to  heaven  their  wondering  view, 

Then  to  the  earth  all  prostrate  bend : 
Yet  we  believe  that  mortal  eyes 
Beheld  that  journey  to  the  skies. 

4  And  now  that  thou  dost  reign  on  high, 

And  thence  thy  waiting  people  bless; 
Xo  ray  of  glory  from  the  sky 

Doth  shine  upon  our  wilderness : 
But  we  believe  thy  faithful  word, 
And  trust  in  our  redeeming  Lord.

Crowns  of  glory  are  his  right,  — 
His,"  who  liveth  and  was  dead."

In  the  fight  he  stood  alone: 
All  his  foes  before  him  fell, 
By  his  single  arm  o'erthrown.

His  the  honors  of  the  day; 
His  the  glory  and  the  spoil : 
Jesus  bears  them  all  away.

His  gracious  hand  indulgent  leads,

To  thy  fair  pastures  guide  my  way, 
And  let  me  rove  no  more.

Of  all  who  know  his  voice:

He  guards  us  by  his  power;

Of  sin  and  wrath  divine  : 
I  'd  sing  his  glorious  righteousness, 
In  which  all  perfect,  heavenly  dress, 

My  soul  shall  ever  shine.

And  all  the  forms  of  love  he  wears,

With  wisdom  from  above ; 
And  give  us  hearts  and  tongues  of  fire, 
To  pray,  and  praise,  and  love.

In  pride  and  robes  of  honor  shine !

And  gladly  catch  the  healing  stream ;

And  give  up  all  our  hearts  to  him : 
Of  nothing  think  or  speak  beside  —

*J*^  Matt.  7:13,14. 

1  Broad  is  the  road  that  leads  to  death, 

And  thousands  walk  together  there  ; 
But  wisdom  shows  a  narrow  path, 
With  here  and  there  a  traveler. 

2  "Deny  thyself,  and  take  thy  cross," 

Is  the  Redeemer's  great  command : 
Nature  must  count  her  gold  but  dross, 
If  she  would  gain  this  heavenly  land. 

3  The  fearful  soul  that  tires  and  faints, 

And  walks  the  ways  of  God  no  more, 
Is  but  esteemed  almost  a  saint, 

And  makes  his  own  destruction  sure. 

*         4  Lord  !  let  not  all  my  hopes  be  vain  ; 
Create  my  heart  entirely  new  : 
Which  hypocrites  could  ne'er  attain  ; 
Which  false  apostates  never  knew.

Famished,  and  faint,  and  lone  ; 
They  bound  me  with  the  bands  of  love ; 
They  saved  the  wandering  one.

The  purchase  of  his  agonies.

And  saints  and  angels  join  to  sing

Is  worthily  to  grieve !

To  me,  O  Lord,  impart; 
I  ask  this  only  blessing  — 

An  humble,  broken  heart : 
The  justice  of  thy  sentence 

With  meekest  awe  to  own ; 
And  spend,  in  deep  repentance, 

My  last,  expiring  groan. 

3  In  that  decisive  hour, 

When  pain,  with  life,  shall  end, 
Then,  O  thou  God  of  power, 

Thou  God  of  love,  attend ! 
And  bear,  oh,  bear  my  burden, 

And  help  my  last  distress ; 
And  give  me  back  my  pardon, 

And  bid  me  die  in  peace!

Look  down,  O  Lord,  with  pitying  eye, 
And  save  the  soul  condemned  to  die. 

3  Then  will  I  teach  the  world  thy  ways  ; 
Sinners  shall  learn  thy  sovereign  grace :

And  they  shall  praise  a  pardoning  God.

Into  the  bbtteward  way  ;

In  sin  and  sorrow's  night, 

Thou  didst  send  forth  a  guiding  ray 

Of  thy  benignant  light  ;  —

Nor  kept  thy  holy  w  ill, 
Thou  wert  not  the  avenging  Judge, 
But  graeious  Father  still  ;  —

Though  we  have  oft  forsaken  t1

That  we  might  live  above  ; 
Because,  when  we  were  heirs  of  wrath, 

Thou  gav'st  the  hopes  of  heaven  : 
We  love  because  we  much  have  sinned, 

And  much  have  been  forgiven.

Xor  tongue  nor  pen  can  show : 
The  love  of  Jesus  —  what  it  is,

And  love  him  in  his  word.

To  dwell  upon  thy  grace.

That  he  loved  me,  and  for  me  bled.

That  I  should  seek  my  pleasures  there. 

2  It  was  the  sight  of  thy  dear  cross 

First  weaned  my  heart  from  earthly  things, 
And  taught  me  to  esteem  as  dross 

The  mirth  of  fools  and  pomp  of  kings. 

3  Oh  for  that  grace  which  springs  from  thee, 

And  quickens  all  things  where  it  flows ; 
Which  makes  a  wretched  thorn  like  me, 
Bloom  as  the  myrtle  or  the  rose ! 

4  For  sure,  of  all  the  plants  that  share 

The  notice  of  thy  Father's  eye, 
None  proves  less  grateful  to  his  care, 
Or  yields  him  meaner  fruit  than  I.

That  I  through  him  enriched  might  be. 

2  Though  Lord  of  all,  above,  below, 

He  went  to  Olivet  for  me  ; 
There  drank  my  cup  of  wrath  and  woe, 
When  bleeding  in  Gethsemane. 

3  The  ever-blessed  Son  of  God 

Went  up  to  Calvary  for  me  ; 
There  paid  my  debt,  there  bore  my  load, 
In  his  own  body  on  the  tree. 

4  Jesus,  whose  dwelling  is  the  skies, 

Went  down  into  the  grave  for  me  ; 
There  overcame  my  enemies, 
There  won  the  glorious  victory.

FAITH    IX    THE    ATONEMENT.  iOo. 

For  thee  I  count  all  things  but  loss, 
So  let  me  gain  thy  promised  throne; 

For  me  why  didst  thou  bear  thy  cross, 
If  not  to  make  me  share  thy  crown  ? 

Give,  give  to  me  the  good  I  crave; 

Cleanse  me  in  thine  atoning  blood : 
Why  didst  thou  love  me  in  thy  grave, 

If  not  t'  enthrone  me  near  my  God  ? 

Oh,  let  my  hope,  so  dear,  so  bright, 
Illumine  my  dark  hour  of  death! 

What  if  thy  glories  blind  my  sight  ? 
Let  them  allure  and  cheer  my  faith. 


T(")3  "  There  is  laid  up  for  me  a  crown."  jjj,  ^£, 

1  If  Jesus  be  my  friend, 

And  I  to  him  belong, 
I  care  not  what  my  foes  intend, 
Though  fierce  they  be,  and  strong. 

2  I  rest  upon  the  ground 

Of  Jesus  and  his  blood ; 
For  I  in  him  alone  have  found 
The  true  eternal  good. 

3  He  whispers  in  my  breast 

Sweet  words  of  holy  cheer, 
How  all  who  seek  in  God  their  rest 
Shall  ever  find  him  near; 

4  How  God  hath  built  above 

A  city  fair  and  new, 
Where  eye  and  heart  shall  see  and  prove 
What  faith  has  counted  true. 

5  My  heart  for  gladness  springs; 

It  cannot  more  be  sad ; 
For  very  joy  it  smiles  and  sings, — 
Sees  naught  but  sunshine  glad.

We  walk  through  deserts  dark  as  night; 
Till  we  arrive  at  heaven,  our  home, 
Faith  is  our  guide,  and  faith  our  light. 

2  The  want  of  sight  she  well  supplies ; 

She  makes  the  pearly  gates  appear; 
Far  into  distant  worlds  she  pries, 
And  brings  eternal  glories  near. 

3  Cheerful  we  tread  the  desert  through, 

While  faith  inspires  a  heavenly  ray; 

Though  lions  roar,  and  tempests  blow, 

And  rocks  and  dangers  till  the  way.

1  Faith  is  the  polar  star 

That  guides  the  Christian's  way, 
Directs  his  wanderings  from  afar 

To  realms  of  endless  day  : 
It  points  the  course,  where'er  he  roam, 
And  safely  leads  the  pilgrim  home. 

2  Faith  is  the  rainbow's  form 

Hung  on  the  brow  of  heaven, 
The  glory  of  the  passing  storm, 

The  pledge  of  mercy  given:     - 
It  is  the  bright  triumphal  arch 
Through  which  the  saints  to  glory  march. 

3  The  faith  that  works  by  love, 

And  purifies  the  heart, 
A  foretaste  of  the  joys  above 

To  mortals  can  impart : 
It  bears  us  through  this  earthly  strife, 
And  triumphs  in  immortal  life.

Faithful  let  thy  mercies  prove; 

Take  our  load  of  guilt  away. 

2  Weary  of  this  war  within, 

Weary  of  this  endless  strife, 
Weary  of  ourselves  and  sin, 
Weary  of  a  wretched  life ;

Burdened  with  our  sinful  load, 
Burdened  with  this  unbelief, 

Burdened  with  the  wrath  of  God :

True  and  gracious  as  thou  art : 
Now  our  weary  souls  release  ; 
Write  forgiveness  on  each  heart.

O'erwhelmed  in  spirit,  faint,  oppressed, 
'Tis  sweet  to  tell  thee,  while  I  kneel 
Low  at  thy  feet,  thou  art  my  rest.

Strong  powers  against  my  soul  contest; 
Oh,  let  me  turn  from  self  and  sin 
To  thy  dear  cross,  for  there  is  rest !

When,  from  her  toils  and  woes  released, 
My  palling  soul  in  death  shall  say,

And  blush  that  I  should  ever  be 
Thus  prone  to  act  so  base  a  part, 

Or  harbor  one  hard  thought  of  thee ! 

3  Oh,  let  me  then  at  length  be  taught 

(What  I  am  still  so  slow  to  learn), 
That  God  is  love,  and  changes  not, 
Nor  knows  the  shadow  of  a  turn.

But  when  my  faith  is  sharply  tried, 
I  find  myself  a  learner  yet, — 

Unskillful,  weak,  and  apt  to  slide. 

5  But,  O  my  Lord  !  one  look  from  thee 

Subdues  the  disobedient  will; 
Drives  doubt  and  discontent  away, 
And  thy  rebellious  child  is  still. 

6  Thou  art  as  ready  to  forgive, 

As  I  am  ready  to  repine ; 
Thou,  therefore,  all  the  praise  receive; 
Be  shame  and  self-abasement  mine.

A  mortal  man  ashamed  of  thee  ? 

Ashamed  of  thee,  whom  angels  praise, 

AY  hose  glories  shine  through  endless  days  ? 

2  Ashamed  of  Jesus  !  sooner  far 
Let  evening  blush  to  own  a  star : 
He  sheds  the  beams  of  light  divine 
O'er  this  benighted  soul  of  mine.

On  whom  my  hopes  of  heaven  depend !

That  I  no  more  revere  his  name.

His  temples  pierced  before.

And  oft  are  bathed  in  tears ; 
Yet  naught  but  heaven  our  hopes  can  raise, 
And  naught  but  sin  our  fears.

Yet,  that  mind  which  was  in  thee, 
May  be,  must  be  formed  in  me.

Vexed  not,  ruffled  not  thy  soul ; 
Still  collected,  calm,  serene, 

Thou  each  feeling  couldst  control : 
Lord,  that  mind  which  was  in  thee, 
May  be,  must  be  formed  in  me. 

3  Though  such  griefs  were  thine  to  bear, 

For  each  suff'rer  thou  couldst  feel ; 
Every  mourner's  burden  share, 

Every  wounded  spirit  heal : 
Saviour !  let  thy  grace  in  me 
Form  that  mind  which  was  in  thee. 

4  When  my  pain  is  most  intense, 

Let  thy  cross  my  lesson  prove  ; 
Let  me  hear  thee,  ev'n  from  thence, 

Breathing  words  of  peace  and  love :

Form  that  mind  which  was  in  thee.

4  Yet,  if  I  might  make  some  reserve, 
And  duty  did  not  call, 
I  love  my  God  with  zeal  so  great, 
That  I  should  give  him  all.

1  O  Lord,  thy  heavenly  grace  impart, 
And  fix  my  frail,  inconstant  heart ; 
Henceforth  my  chief  delight  shall  be 
To  dedicate  myself  to  thee. 

2  TVhate'er  pursuits  my  time  employ, 
One  thought  shall  fill  my  soul  with  joy ; 
That  silent,  secret  thought  shall  be, 
That  all  my  hopes  are  fixed  on  thee. 

3  Thy  glorious  eye  pervadeth  space  ; 
Thy  presence,  Lord,  fills  every  place ; 
And,  wheresoe'er  my  lot  may  be, 
Still  shall  my  spirit  cleave  to  thee. 

4  Renouncing  every  worldly  thing, 
And  safe  beneath  thy  sheltering  wing, 
My  sweetest  thought  henceforth  shall  be, 
That  all  I  want  I  find  in  thee. 

823  "Thee  vMHove."  L.  M.  61. 

1  Thee  will  I  love,  my  Strength  and  Tower, 

Thee  will  I  love,  my  Joy  and  Crown, 
Thee  will  I  love  with  all  my  power, 

In  all  my  works, —  and  thee  alone  ; 
Thee  will  I  love,  till  that  pure  fire 
Fills  my  whole  soul  with  strong  desire. 

2  In  darkness  willingly  I  strayed, 

I  sought  thee,  yet  from  thee  I  roved ; 
Far  wide  my  wandering  thoughts  were  spread, 

Thy  creatures  more  than  thee  I  loved : 
And  now,  if  more  at  length  I  see, 
'T  is  through  thy  light,  and  comes  from  thee.

And  suffers  no  delay.

I  set  before  mine  eyes ; 
Thence  I  derive  my  daily  strength, 
And  there  my  comfort  lies.

I  think  upon  my  ways ; 
Then  turn  my  feet  to  thy  commands, 
And  trust  thy  pardoning  grace.

While  prayer  employed  my  tongue,

Nor  I  his  praises  sung.

And  brought  salvation  nigh. 

2  He  raised  me  from  a  horrid  pit, 

Where,  mourning,  long  I  lay, 
And  from  my  bonds  released  my  feet  — 
Deep  bonds  of  miry  clay. 

S  Firm  on  a  rock  he  made  me  stand, 
And  taught  my  cheerful  tongue 
To  praise  the  wonders  of  his  hand 
In  new  and  thankful  song.

1  Behold  the  throne  of  grace  ! 

The  promise  calls  me  near ; 
There  Jesus  shows  a  smiling  face, 
And  waits  to  answer  prayer. 

2  That  rich  atoning  blood, 

Which  sprinkled  round  I  see, 
Provides  for  those  who  come  to  God 
An  all-prevailing  plea. 

3  My  soul !  ask  what  thou  wilt; 

Thou  canst  not  be  too  bold : 
Since  his  own  blood  for  thee  he  spilt. 
What  else  can  he  withhold  ? 

4  Thine  image,  Lord,  bestow, 

Thy  presence  and  thy  love; 
I  ask  to  serve  thee  here  below, 
And  reign  with  thee  above. 

5  Teach  me  to  live  by  faith  ; 

Conform  my  will  to  thine ; 
Let  me  victorious  be  in  death, 
And  then  in  glory  shine.

The  house  of  God  not  made  with  hands, 
A  great  High  Priest  our  nature  wears, — 
The  Guardian  of  mankind  appears. 

2  Though  now  ascended  up  on  high, 
He  bends  on  earth  a  brothers  eye ; 
Partaker  of  the  human  name, 

He  knows  the  frailty  of  our  frame. 

3  Our  Fellow-sufferer  yet  retains 
A  fellow-feeling  of  our  pains ; 
And  still  remembers,  in  the  skies, 
His  tears,  his  agonies,  and  cries.

1  PBAYEB  is  the  soul's  sincere  desire, 

Uttered  or  unexpressed; 

The  motion  of  a  bidden  fire

Returning  from  his  wj 
"While  angels  in  their  songs  rci< 
And  cry,  "Behold,  he  pray-  !"

His  watchword  at  the  gates  of  death: 
He  enters  heaven  with  prayer.

But  we  shall  still  be  joined  in  heart,

Love  spoke  in  every  breath  ; 
Supreme  it  reigned,  throughout  his  life, 
And  triumphed  in  his  death. 

2  Behold,  this  new  command  he  gives 

To  those  who  bear  his  name,  — 
That  they  shall  one  another  love, 
As  he  hath  loved  them. 

3  In  every  action,  every  thought, 

Be  this  great  law  fulfilled ; 

Forgotten  be  each  selfish  aim, 

Each  angry  passion  stilled.

While  they  his  sufferings  view,

And  nobler  speech  than  angels  use, 

If  love  be  absent,  I  am  found, 

Like  tinkling  brass,  an  empty  sound. 

2  Were  I  inspired  to  preach  and  tell 
All  that  is  done  in  heaven  or  hell, 
Or  could  my  faith  the  world  remove, 
Still  am  I  nothing  without  love. 

3  Should  I  distribute  all  my  store, 

To  feed  the  hungry,  clothe  the  poor,  — 

Or  give  my  body  to  the  flame, 

To  gain  a  martyr's  glorious  name,  — 

4  If  love  to  God  and  love  to  men 
Be  absent,  all  my  hopes  are  vain  : 
Xor  tongues,  nor  gifts,  nor  fiery  zeal, 
The  work  of  love  can  e'er  fulfill.

And  bow  before  thy  throne  :

The  kingdoms  are  but  one.

Shall  meet  thee  in  the  skies.

Where  he  appoints  we  go; 
We  still  in  Jesus'  footsteps  tread, 
And  show  his  praise  below.

And  nothing  know  beside! 
Nothing  desire,  nothing  esteem, 
But  Jesus  crucified  !

When  throned  above  the  skies,

920  Prayer  for  a  Pure  Heart  C.  M. 

1  O  Lord,  our  carnal  mind  control, 

And  make  us  pure  within ; 
Purge  more  and  more  our  inmost  soul 
From  willful  thoughts  of  sin. 

2  Let  not  the  world  with  spot  or  soil 

Our  secret  heart  defile"; 
Nor  Satan  round  our  spirit  coil 
His  chain  of  fraud  and  guile. 

3  Be  ours  the  blessed  lot  of  those, 

Who  every  evil  flee ; 
Whose  holy  converse  clearly  shows 
Communion  full  with  thee  ;  — 

4  That  when  thou  shalt  in  might  appear, 

We  may  thy  grace  declare, 
And  thence  through  heaven's  eternal  year 
Thy  glorious  kingdom  share.

The  holy  gospel  we  profess  ; 

So  let  our  works  and  virtues  shine, 
To  prove  the  doctrine  all  divine. 

2  Thus  shall  we  best  proclaim  abroad 
The  honors  of  our  Saviour  God ; 
When  his  salvation  reigns  within, 
And  grace  subdues  the  power  of  sin. 

3  Our  flesh  and  sense  must  be  denied, 
Passion  and  envy,  lust  and  pride; 
While  justice,  temperance,  truth,  and  love, 
Our  inward  piety  approve. 

4  Religion  bears  our  spirits  up, 
While  we  expect  that  blessed  hope, 
The  bright  appearance  of  the  Lord,  — 
And  faith  stands  leaning  on  his  word.

In  kindness  dost  chastise, 
And  by  thy  sacred  rules  to  walk, 
Dost  lovingly  advise. 

2  For  God  will  never  from  his  saints 

His  favor  wholly  take  : 
His  own  possession,  and  his  lot, 
He  will  not  quite  forsake. 

3  The  world  shall  then  confess  thee  just 

In  all  that  thou  hast  done; 
And  those  who  choose  thy  upright  path 
Shall  in  that  path  go  on. 

4  My  sure  defense  is  firmly  placed 

In  thee,  the  Lord  most  high : 
Thou  art  my  Rock ;  to  thee  I  may 
For  refuge  always  fly.

Addressing  man  to  trouble  born  ; 
"What  accents,  Saviour,  then  were  thine  !  — 
"  Blessed  are  they  that  mourn  ! " 

2  Again  it  spoke  :  "  Come  unto  me, 

Thou  with  distress  and  labor  worn ; 
Rest  and  refreshment  are  for  thee : 
"  Blessed  are  they  that  mourn  !  " 

3  I  heard  a  voice  in  truth's  pure  word, 

A  saint  who  sorrow's  yoke  had  borne : 
"Blest  is  the  man  thou  chast'nest,  Lord! 
Blessed  are  thev  that  mourn !"

The  joys  which  then  I  knew  ? 
Those  vanished  like  the  morning  cloud, 
These,  like  the  early  dew.

Whatever  my  state  may  be,

A  blessing  for  the  eyes  that  weep. 

2  The  light  of  smiles  shall  fill  again 

The  lids  that  overflow  with  tears; 
And  weary  hours  of  woe  and  pain 
Are  promises  of  happier  years.

For  every  dark  and  troubled  night ; 

And  grief  may  bide  an  evening  guest, 

But  joy  shall  come  with  early  light. 

4  Xor  let  the  good  man's  trust  depart, 

Though  life  its  common  gifts  deny; 

Though  with  a  pierced  and  broken  heart, 

And  spurned  of  men,  he  goes  to  die. 

5  For  God  has  marked  each  sorrowing  day, 

And  numbered  every  secret  tear, 
And  heaven's  long  age  of  bliss  shall  pay 
For  all  his  children  suffer  here.

While  peace  and  joy  combine 
To  form  a  life,  whose  holy  springs 
Are  hidden  and  divine.

His  God  in  secret  sees: 
Let  earth  be  all  in  arms  abroad ; 
He  dwells  in  heavenly  peace.

Beyond  this  world  of  time, 
Where  neither  eyes  nor  ears  have  been, 
Nor  thoughts  of  mortals  climb.

To  raise  his  honor  here  :

To  her  my  cares  and  toils  be  given, 
Till  toils  and  cares  shall  end.

Her  sweet  communion,  solemn  vows, 
Her  hymns  of  love  and  praise.

And  to  our  Captain  true, 
We  follow  where  he  leads  the  way,

And  Zion  was  our  mournful  theme.  .

Great  God !  and  praise  becomes  thy  house  ; 
There  shall  thy  saints  thy  glory  see, 
And  there  perform  their  public  vows,

To  save  when  humble  sinners  pray ! 
All  lands  to  thee  shall  lift  their  eyes, 
And  grateful  isles  of  every  sea. 

3  Soon  shall  the  flocking  nations  run 

To  Zion's  hill,  and  own  their  Lord; 
The  rising  and  the  setting- sun 

Shall  see  the  Saviour's  name  adored.

And  heathen  tribes,  in  joyful  bands,

And  take  th'  alarm  they  give: 
Now  let  them  from  the  mouth  of  God 
Their  solemn  charge  receive.

The  pastor's  care  demands  ; 
But  what  might  fill  an  angel's  heart, 
And  filled  a  Saviour's  hands. 

3  They  watch  for  souls,  for  which  the  Lord 

Did  heavenly  bliss  forego  ; 
For  souls  which  must  forever  live 
In  raj)ture  or  in  woe. 

4  May  they  that  Jesus  whom  they  preaqh, 

Their  own  Redeemer,  see  : 
Lord,  watch  thou  daily  o'er  their  souls, 
That  they  may  watch  for  thee.

Well  may  this  glowing  heart  rejoice, 
And  tell  its  raptures  all  abroad.

To  him  who  merits  all  my  love ! 
Let  cheerful  anthems  fill  his  house, 
While  to  that  sacred  shrine  I  move.

I  am  my  Lord's,  and  he  is  mine  : 
He  drew  me,  and  I  followed  on, 

Charmed  to  confess  the  voice  divine.

Fixed  on  this  blissful  center,  rest ; 
With  ashes  who  would  grudge  to  part, 
When  called  on  angels'  bread  to  feast.

A  vow  we  dare  not  break  :  — 

2  That,  long  as  life  itself  shall  last, 

Ourselves  to  Christ  we  yield ; 
Nor  from  his  cause  will  we  depart, 
Or  ever  quit  the  field.

But  on  his  grace  rely, 
That  with  returning  wants  the  Lord 
Will  all  our  need  supply.

Those  heavenly  voices  raise, 

Ten  thousand  thousand  infant  tongues 
Unite  in  perfect  praise.

If  Jesus  we  obey  ; 

That  is  the  place  where  we  shall  go, 
If  found  in  wisdom's  way. 

4  Soon  will  our  earthly  race  be  run, 
Our  mortal  frame  decay ; 

Parents  and  children,  one  by  one, 
Must  die  and  pass  away. 

5  Great  God !  impress  this  solemn  thought, 
To-day,  on  every  breast ; 

That  both  the  teachers  and  the  taught, 
May  enter  to  thy  rest.

2  Secure  them  from  the  scorching  beam, 
And  lead  them  to  the  living  stream; 
In  verdant  pastures  let  them  lie, 

And  watch  them  with  a  shepherd's  eye ! 

3  Oh,  teach  them  to  discern  thy  voice, 
And  in  its  sacred  sound  rejoice ! 
From  strangers  may  they  ever  flee, 
And  know  no  other  guide  but  thee.

And  let  their  number  be  complete  ; 
Then  let  the  flock  from  earth  remove, 
And  reach  the  heavenly  fold  above.

1  Dear  Saviour,  if  these  lambs  should  stray 

From  thy  secure  inclosure's  bound, 
And,  lured  by  worldly  joys  away, 

Among  the  thoughtless  crowd  be  found,  — 

2  Remember  still  that  they  are  thine, 

That  thy  dear  sacred  name  they  bear ; 
Think  that  the  seal  of  love  divine, 

The  sign  of  cov'nant  grace  they  wear. 

3  In  all  their  erring,  sinful  years, 

Oh,  let  them  ne'er  forgotten  be ! 
Remember  all  the  prayers  and  tears 
Which  made  them  consecrate  to  thee. 

4  And  when  these  lips  no  more  can  pray, 

These  eyes  can  weep  for  them  no  more, 
Turn  thou  their  feet  from  folly's  way ; 
The  wanderers  to  thy  fold  restore.

Where  one  their  wish,  and  one  their  prayer, 
And  one  their  heavenly  rest.

And  praise  is  wont  to  rise ; 
Where  parents  love  the  sacred  word, 

And  live  but  for  the  skies.

Thousands  of  children  stand,  — 
Children,  whose  sins  are  all  forgiven, 
A  holy,  happy  band. 

2  What  brought  them  to  that  world  above, 

That  heaven  so  bright  and  fair, 
Where  all  is  peace  and  joy  and  love? 
How  came  those  children  there  f 

3  Because  the  Saviour  shed  his  blood 

To  wash  away  their  sin : 
Bathed  in  that  pure  and  precious  flood, 
Behold  them  white  and  clean. 

4  On  earth  they  sought  their  Saviour's  grace, 

On  earth  they  loved  his  name: 
So  now  they  see  his  blessed  thee, 
And  stand  before  the  Lamb.

Whose  secret  heart,  with  influence  sweet, 
Is  upward  drawn  to  God.

The  lily  must  decay ;

Within  thy  Father's  shrine, 
Whose  years,  with  changeless  virtue  crowned,

We  seek  thy  grace  alone, 
In  childhood,  manhood,  age,  and  death,

His  works  of  power  and  grace ;

May  teach  them  to  their  heirs.

1  Oh  that  the  Lord's  salvation 

Were  out  of  Zion  come, 
To  heal  his  ancient  nation, 

To  lead  his  outcasts  home  ! 
How  long  the  holy  city 

Shall  heathen  feet  profane  ? 
Return,  O  Lord,  in  pity ; 

Rebuild  her  walls  again. 

2  Let  fall  thy  rod  of  terror ; 

Thy  saving  grace  impart ; 
Roll  back  the  vail  of  error ; 

Release  the  fettered  heart : 
Let  Israel,  home  returning, 

Their  lost  Messiah  see ; 
Give  oil  of  joy  for  mourning, 

And  bind  thy  church  to  thee. 


"  Th ey  come,  they  come  —  thine  exiled  bands."  Q%  J^J# 

Daughter  of  Zion !  from  the  dust 

Exalt  thy  fallen  head ; 
Again  in  thy  Redeemer  trust : 

He  calls  thee  from  the  dead. 

2  Awake,  awake !  put  on  thy  strength, 

Thy  beautiful  array ; 
The  day  of  freedom  dawns  at  length, 
The  Lord's  appointed  day. 

3  Rebuild  thy  walls,  thv  bounds  enlarge, 

And  send  thy  heralds  forth  ; 
Say  to  the  south,  "  Give  up  thy  charge," 
And  keep  not  back,  O  north ! 

4  They  come,  they  come! — thine  exiled  bands, 

W  here'er  they  rest  or  roam, 
Have  heard  thy  voice  in  distant  lands, 
And  hasten  to  their  home.

PRAYERS  IN  VIEW  OF  DEATH.  1181,  1182. 

5  Great  God !  thy  sovereign  grace  impart, 
With  cleansing,  healing  power; 
This  only  can  prepare  the  heart 
For  death's  surprising  hour.

1  When  from  my  sight  all  fades  away, 
And  when  my  tongue  no  more  can  say, 
And  when  mine  ears  no  more  can  hear, 
And  when  my  heart  is  racked  with  fear,  — 
"When  all  my  mind  is  darkened  o'er, 

And  human  help  can  do  no  more, — 

2  Then  come,  Lord  Jesus !  come  with  speed, 
And  help  me  in  my  hour  of  need ; 

Then  hide  my  sins,  and  let  my  faith 
Be  brave,  and  conquer  ev'n  in  death : 
Then  let  me,  resting  on  thy  word, 
Securely  sleep  in  thee,  my  Lord.

1  Father,  when  thy  child  is  dying, 
On  the  bed  of  anguish  lying, 
Then,  my  every  want  supplying, 

To  me  thy  love  display ! 

2  Ere  my  soul  her  bonds  hath  broken, 
Grant  some  bright  and  cheering  token, 
That  for  me  the  words  are  spoken, 

"Thy  sins  are  washed  away!" 

3  When  the  lips  are  dumb  which  blessed  me, 
And  withdrawn  the  hand  that  pressed  me, 
Then  let  sweeter  sounds  arrest  me, 

To  call  my  soul  away ! 

4  Guide  me  to  that  world  of  spirits, 
Where,  through  thine  atoning  merits, 
Ev'n  thy  weakest  child  inherits 

The  joys  which  ne'er  decay.

Psalm  89. 

Thixk,  mighty  God,  on  feeble  man, 
How  few  his  hours,  how  short  his  span ! 

Short  from  the  cradle  to  the  grave : 
Who  can  secure  his  vital  breath 
Against  the  bold  demands  of  death, 

With  skill  to  fly,  or  power  to  save  ? 

Lord,  shall  it  be  forever  said, 
The  race  of  man  was  only  made 

For  sickness,  sorrow,  and  the  dust  ? 
Are  not  thy  servants,  day  by  day, 
Sent  to  their  graves,  and*  turned  to  clay  ? 

Lord,  where's  thy  kindness  to  the  just? 

Hast  thou  not  promised  to  thy  Son, 
And  all  his  seed,  a  heavenly  crown  ? 

But  flesh  and  sense  indulge  despair : 
Forever  blessed  be  the  Lord, 
That  faith  can  read  his  holy  word, 

And  find  a  resurrection  there. 

Forever  blessed  be  the  Lord, 
Who  gives  his  saints  a  long  reward 

For  all  their  toil,  reproach,  and  pain : 
Let  all  below,  and  all  above, 
Join  to  proclaim  thy  wondrous  love, 

And  each  repeat  his  loud  Amen!

And  the  last  trumpet's  awful  voice

And  they  who  sleep  shall  wake ;

And  earth's  foundation  shake.

With  joy  shall  mount  on  high  ;

And  the  moon  be  red  as  blood ; 
When  the  stars  shall  fall  from  heaven 
As  the  leaves  fall  in  a  wood.

From  the  tempter's  malice  fly !

1,  Psalm  1. 

1  Blessed  is  the  man  that  walketh  not  in  the  coun- 

sel |  of  the  •  un-  |  godly, 
Nor  standeth  in  the  way  of  sinners,  nor  sitteth 
in  the  |  seat —  |  of  the  |  scornful. 

2  But  his  delight  is  in  the  |  law  •  of  the  |  Lord ; 

And  in  his  law  doth  he  |  medi  -  tate  |  day  and  | 
night. 

3  And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  planted  by  the  |  rivers  • 

of  |  water, 
That  bringeth  forth  his  |  fruit  —  |  in  his  |  season ; 

4  His  leaf  also  |  shall  not  |  wither ; 

And  whatso-  |  ever  he  |  doeth  shall  |  prosper. 

5  The  ungodly  |  are  not  |  so : 

But   are   like   the   chaff  which   the  |  wind  —  | 
driveth  •  a-  |  way. 

6  Therefore  the  ungodly  shall  not  ]  stand  •  in  the  j 

judgment, 
Nor   sinners   in   the   congre-  |  gation  |  of  the  | 
righteous : 

7  For  the  Lord  knoweth  the  |  way  •  of  the  |  right- 

eous: 
But  the  way  of  the  un-  |  godly  |  shall —  |  perish.

PSALM    19.  3. 

There  is  no  speech  nor  language,  where  their  | 
voice —  |  is  not  |  heard. 

3  Their  line  is  gone  out  through  |  all  the  |  earth, 

And  their  words  to  the  |  end —  |  of  the  |  world. 

4  In  them  hath  he  set  a  tabernacle  |  for  the  |  sun, 

Which  is  as  a  bridegroom  coming  out  of  his 
chamber,  and  rejoiceth  as  a  strong  |  man 
to  |  run  a  |  race. 

5  His  going  forth  is  from  the  end  of  the  heaven, 

and  his  circuit  unto  the  |  ends  —  |  of  it : 
And   there  is  nothing  |  hid  •  from   the  |  heat 
there-  |  of. 

6  The  law  of  the  Lord  is  perfect,  con-  |  verting  • 

the  |  soul : 
The  testimony  of  the  Lord  is  sure,  |  making  | 
wise  the  |  simple. 

7  The  statutes  of  the  Lord  are  right,  re-  |  joicing  • 

the  |  heart : 
The  commandment  of  the  Lord  is  |  pure,  en-  | 
lightening  •  the  |  eyes. 

8  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  clean,  en-  |  during  •  for  | 

ever : 
The  judgments  of  the  Lord  are  true  and  ]  right- 
eous |  alto-  |  gether. 

9  More  to  be  desired  are  they  than  gold,  yea,  than  j 

much  fine  |  gold  : 
Sweeter   also   than   honey  |  and   the  [  honey-  | 
comb. 

10  Moreover  by  them  is  thy  |  servant  |  warned : 

And  in  keeping  of  them  |  there  is  |  great  re-  | 
ward. 

11  Who  cax  under-  |  stand  his  |  errors? 

Cleanse  thou  |  me  from  |  secret  |  faults. 

12  Keep  back   thy  servant  also  from  presumptuous 

sins;  let  them  not  have  do-  |  minion  |  over 
me: 
Then  shall  I  be  upright,  and  I  shall  be  inno- 
cent |  from  the  |  great  trans-  |  gression.

1  God  is  our  |  refuge  •  and  |  strengtli,

And   though   the    mountains  be    carried   into 
the  |  midst  —  |  of  the  |  sea ; 

3  Though  the  waters  thereof  |  roar  •  and  be    |  trou- 

bled, 
Though   the   mountains   |  shake   •  with   the  | 
swelling  •  there-  |  of. 

4  There  is  a  river,  the  streams  whereof  shall  make 

glad  the  |  city  •  of  |  God, 
The    holy   place    of  the  tabernacles  |  of  the  | 
Most —  |  high. 

5  God  is  in  the  midst  of  her;  she  shall  |  not  be  |

God  shall  |  help  her,  •  and  |  that  right  |  early. 
G  The    heathen   raged,    the    |    kingdoms   •    were  | 

moved : 
He  uttered  his  |  voice,  the  |  earth —  |  melted. 

7  The  Lord  of  J  hosts  is  |  with  us ; 

The  God  oi  |  Jacob  |  is  our  |  refuge. 

8  Come,  behold  the  |  works  •  of  the  |  Lord, 

What  desolations  he  hath  |  made  —  |  in  the  j 
earth. 

9  He  maketh  wars  to  cease  unto  the  |  end  •  of  the  | 

earth  ; 
He  breaketh  the  bow,  and  cutteth  the  spear  in 
sunder ;  he  burnetii  the  |  chariot  |  in  the  | 
fire. 

10  Be  still,  and  know  that  |  I  am  |  God  : 

I  will  be  exalted  among  the  heathen,  I  will  be 
ex-  |  alted  |  in  the  |  earth.

the  |  Lord  ? 
Who  among  the  sons  of  the  mighty  can  be  | 
likened  |  unto  •  the  |  Lord? 

7  God  is  greatly  to  be  feared  in  the  assembly  |  of 

the  |  saints, 
And  to  be  had  in  reverence  of  all  |  them  that  | 
are  a-  |  bout  him. 

8  O  Lord  God  of  hosts,  who  is  a  strong  Lord  [ 

like  •  unto  |  thee  ? 
Or  to  thy  faithfulness   |  round  a-  |  bout —  | 
thee?  •    ' 

9  Thou  rulest  the  raging  |  of  the  |  sea : 

When  the  waves  thereof  a-  |  rise,  thou  |  still- 
est |  them. 

10  Thou  hast  broken  Rahab  in  pieces,  as  |  one  •  that 

is  |  slain;* 
Thou  hast  scattered  thine  enemies  |  with  thy  | 
strong —  |  arm. 

11  The  heavens  are  thine,  the  earth  j  also  •  is  |  thine : 

As  for  the  world  and  the  fullness  thereof,   | 
thou  hast  |  founded  |  them. 

12  The  north  and  the  south  thou  hast  ere-  |  ated  | 

them : 
Tabor  and  Hermon  shall  re-  |  joice  in  |  thy  —  | 
name. 

13  Thou  hast  a  |  mighty  |  arm : 

Strong  is  thy  hand,  and  |  high  is  |  thy  right  | 
hand. 

14  Justice  and  judgment  are  the  habitation  |  of  thy  | 

throne : 
Mercy  and  truth  shall  |  go  be-  |  fore  thy  |  ftice. 

15  Blessed  is  the  people  that  know  the  |  joyful  | 

sound : 
They  shall  walk,  O  Lord,  in  the  [  light  of  | 
thy —  |  countenance. 

16  In  thy  name  shall  they  rejoice  |  all  the  |  day: 

And  in  thy  righteousness  |  shall  they  |  be  ex-  | 
alted.

In  |  all  —  |  gener-  |  ations. 

2  Before  the  mountains  were  brought  forth, 

thou  hadst  formed  the  |  earth  •  and  the  | 
world, 
en  from  everlasting  to  ever-  |  lasting,  |  thou 
art  I  God. 


Thou  turnest  man 
And  sayest,  Re-

And  as  a  |  watch  —  |  in  the  I  night. 
5  Thou  earnest  them  away  as  with  a  Hood  ;  they

In  the  morning  they  are  like    |   grass  whi

G  In  the  morning  it  flourisheth,  and  |  groweth  |  up; 
In  the  evening  it  is  cut   |   down  and  |  with 
er-  |  eth. 

7  For  we  are  consumed  |  by  tliine  |  anger. 

And  by  thy  |  wrath —  |  are  we    |  troubled. 

8  Thou  liast  set  our  iniquities  be-  |  fore —  |  thee, 

Our  secret  sins  in  the  |  light  of  |  thy —  |  coun- 
tenance. 
(J  Tor  all  our  days  are  passed  away  |  in  thy  |  wrath  : 

AVe  spend  our  years  as  a  |  tale —  |  tnat

10  Thb    days  of  our  years  are  threescore    |    year

12  Who  knoweth  the  power  |  of  thine  |  anger? 

Even   according  to    thy    |   fear,  so    |   is  thy    |

That  we  may  rejoice  and  be  |  glad —  |  all  our  | 
days. 

16  Make    us    Had   according   to    the   davs    wherein 

thou  |  hast  af-  |  flicted  us, 
And  the  years  where-  |  in  we  |  have  seen  |  evil. 

17  Let  thy  work  appear  |  unto  •  thy  |  servants, 

And  thy  |  glory  |  unto  •  their  |  children. 

18  And  let  the  beauty  of  the  Lord  our  God  |  be  up-|

And  establish  thou  the  work  of  our  hands  upon 
us;  yea,  the  work  of  our  |  hands  cs-  |  tab-
